LSL Game Control is a way for scripts in vehicles and attachments to use game controller input from devices such as Xbox, PS4/5 and joysticks. This feature will allow users to create things like vehicles that behave more realistically by using analog input values from a Bluetooth gamepad in addition to discrete key-press events. For example, a helicopter could more delicately maneuver, using input from the analog stick rather than WASD on a keyboard. This functionality is not limited to vehicles and can be used for many more applications.
